Gov. Hubbard's Message.

BIENNIAL MESSAGE OF GOV. I. F. HUBBARD.
Gentlemen OF the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentAtivcs: Following the precedent established
by my predecessors upon retiring from office,
have the honor to submit for vour information a
b1ief review Of tho transactions Of the executive
department OF tho state government during the
period that has elapsed since the legislature was
last In session.
Theextraordinary growth in population and
the corresponding wealth which have character
lied the development OF tho state within the
period named are the source Of much cra,itica-
ton and pride to orr people. and omens Of great
promise for the future Of our beloved common
wealth. It requires but careful husbandry Of
the rich and varied RESOURCES with which nature
has endowed us and wise administration Of
the trusts committed to our care to assure that
proud destiny for our state which the possibili-
ties Of the future present.
FINANCES.
The following statements give q general idea
OF the transactions of the treasury for the fiscal
years OF 1889 and 1856. The auditors and
treasurer's reports furnish the information in
much greater detail: hence, for exact informa-
ton respecting each item, I refer you to those
documents

These estimates Of the states resources will
doubtless closely approximate the actual rove
nue. receipts: The estimates Of disbursements
also will probably be nearly verified by the act
rsl expenditures except In the item Of new
on1diags for 1888 and 1889. Tho estimate OF
800 goo per annum for that purpose falls
LARGELY short OF the estimates submitted by
their different boards Of control for permanent
improvements at our state institutions. In con-
sfdertng these latter estimates, therefore, In
connection with The requirements Of other de-
Oaftments OK the state government, and the
probable revenues from which appropriations
must be paid. the necessity of a reduction of the
ono or an increase CT the other will be made aD-
parent: The unpleasant duty was imposed
upon me by your immediate predecessors of
withholding my approval to several appropria-
lions made for most worthy objects. simply be-
cause the revenues Of the state were not sufi-
Gent to meet them. proper adjustment Of
expenses to Income Is an elemental business
principle as applicable to the state as to the in
div1doa,. Without questioning therefore, the
utility, or perhaps the necessity. of the expendi-
ture contemplated in the estimates referred TO-

alternative OF restricting appropriations or in

1t Will lie bourne in mind that the above state

on the o!>t day Of last July. Since that date
the amounts then standing to the credit Of the
permanent trust funds have been largely in
vested in interest bearing securities. and the
general school fund distributed to the several
school districts OF the state. The revenue fund
also has not only been exhausted, but has Dor
